It is recommend that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to the same
AC power outlet as this could result in fire or elec­tric shock.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall out­lets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and
have the cord replaced with an exact replacement
part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
Do not make the TV with the power cord plugged
in. Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be
sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the power
cord. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the

NOTE

Screw length needed depends on the wall mount
used. For further information, refer to the instruc­tions included with the mount.

Standard dimensions for wall mount kits are shown
in the table.

When purchasing our wall mount kit, a detailed
installation manual and all parts necessary for
assembly are provided.

Do not use screws longer then the standard dimen­sion, as they may cause damage to the inside to
the TV.

For wall mounts that do not comply with the VESA

standard screw specifications, the length of the
screws may differ depending on their specifica­tions.

Do not use screws that do not comply with the
VESA standard screw specifications.

Do not tighten the screws too much. It may dam­age the TV or allow the TV to a fall and cause per­sonal injury. LG is not liable for these kinds of acci­dents.

LG is not liable for TV damage or personal injury
when a non-VESA or non specified wall mount is
used or the consumer fails to follow the TV installa­tion instructions.

CAUTION

Do not install your wall mount kit while the TV is plugged in. It may result in personal injury due to electric
shock.

WARNING

To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the wall in accordance with the installa­tion instructions.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING

G

G

!

WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND

■

You should purchase necessary components to prevent TV from falling off of the stand.

■

Image shown may differ from your TV.

* This feature is not available for all models.

We recommend that you set the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,

potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to attach the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.

Secure the wall brackets with screws (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height of the bracket that
is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

PREPARATION

■

Use a sturdy rope or cord (sold separately) to tie the product. It is
safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and
the product (the less slack in the rope, the better).

NOTE

Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV.

G

To use the TV safely, make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the one on the TV are
the same.

Controlling the TV with Serial Data

The TV is capable of being controlled by a single-wire, serial data
signal. This is a LG patented technology and is being implemented
by certain brands of “smart” pillow speakers.

Pillow Speaker Interface

This connector furnishes three control lines and an audio output.
A patient-pendant remote control, or entertainment audio and
nurse call system may be connected here. All lines are isolated
from the AC power line and earth ground. (Optoisolators isolate
the control lines, and a transformer isolates the audio. There are
no relays or inductive components in the control lines.)

Purpose

External TV On/Off switch.

External Channel Up switch or Data in.
Common connection for control, data, and
audio output. Impedance to earth ground is a
10-meg resistor in parallel with a 1100 pf
capacitor.
Isolated audio output. Nominal 14-ohm source
impedance with short circuit protection.
Intended for a pillow speaker with a low-impe
ance pad-type volume control.
External Channel Down switch.

Controlling the TV with Mechanical Switches

Pin 4(common) is momentarily connected to pin
1, 3, or 6 via push-action switches to control
On/Off and Channel Up/Down. These pins are
at +13volts DC(when measured from pin4) with
the switches open. Current draw is 8 mA when a
switch is closed. (This operation is identical to
previous LG models using the 5-Wire Interface
except that only +7 volts DC was supplied and
current draw was only 2.5 mA.)
